Sensors and Lasers
Radar systems, tracking systems and radomes, other than those specified in entry 6A008, as follows:
| Reference | Parameter | Threshold |
|---|---|---|
| 6A108.c | 184 × 10^6 J/m^2 accompained by a peak over pressure of | > 50 kPa |
6A108.aRadar and laser radar systems designed or modified for use in space launch vehicles specified in 9A004 or sounding rockets specified in 9A104;
6A108.bPrecision tracking systems, usable for ‘missiles’, as follows:
6A108.b.1Tracking systems which use a code translator in conjunction with either surface or airborne references or navigation satellite systems to provide real-time measurements of in-flight position and velocity;
6A108.b.2Range instrumentation radars including associated optical/infrared trackers with all of the following capabilities: a. Angular resolution better than 1,5 milliradians; b. Range of 30 km or greater with a range resolution better than 10 m rms; and c. Velocity resolution better than 3 m/s;
6A108.cRadomes designed to withstand a combined thermal shock greater than 4,184 × 10^6 J/m^2 accompained by a peak over pressure of greater than 50 kPa, and usable in "missiles" for protecting against nuclear effects (e.g. electromagnetic pulse (EMP), X-rays, combined blast and thermal effects).
